Post Office customers & staff forced to endure temperatures as high as 90 degrees
No AC
Staff and Customers at the Post Office —already inconvenienced by the travels—are made to endure the horrid temperatures, since the Air Conditioning (AC) system in the Post Office, located across from the J & C building occupied by ‘Citco,’ has been out of service for over six months now.
Our roving camera was at the main Road Town Post Office on June 15, 2018, and documented the complaints from both members of the public and staff on the less that conducive working conditions.
The Territory’s Post Offices fall under the remit of the Ministry of Finance, but enquiries posed to Financial Secretary, Glenroy A. Forbes, were not immediately responded too.
Premier, Dr the Honourable D Orlando Smith (AL), is the Minister of Finance, and the Post Office falls under his portfolio.
Nine months after the Category-5 hurricanes that laid waste to many of the government owned and leased mail boxes in the Territory, not a single one on Tortola has been put back in operation—leading to the travel woes in the first place.
NDP failure to repair public structure
Residents and sections of civil society have continued to lambast the National Democratic Party (NDP) Administration, over their failure to repair the Territory’s public infrastructure—devastated in some cased by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Critics say too, the difficulties in accessing the $65M Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) loan, is since the United Kingdom Government do not trust the NDP with public funds and as such demanded that all loans go through the Virgin Islands Recovery Agency Board—which itself is still not fully functional.

She's never around. She cares nothing about her staff. A real p*g and is not fit to run that post office..she's evil.
and exchanging proper greetings to everyone, an PO employee cheerfully offers their assistance, but inevitably when they return with out my credit card statements or Bank statements. Where is my mail?
